Globalization is causing a loss of architectural diversity and threatening the unique identity of cities. Standardized buildings are replacing historically influenced designs, disconnecting architecture from local context. This trend endangers the preservation of a city's history and heritage. Therefore, it is important to maintain diverse and locally relevant architecture to protect the cultural integrity of modern cities. Red Mountain Park exemplifies a destination that blends Alabama's rich history with modern recreation. Located on a former iron mining site, this modern-day park showcases remnants of past mining activities. This makes the park not just a place for outdoor activities, but also a heritage site preserving Alabama’s historical industrial background. Preserving these vital ruins will revitalize a bygone era and restores the state's cultural identity. Safeguarding these remnants honors the miners and enhances Alabama's unique heritage. This approach positions Red Mountain Park as a symbol of Alabama's mining legacy, fostering a deep cultural identity for current and future generations.
